I followed your step by step on my Chromebook. However once I downloaded Linux Ubuntu 20.04 I wasn’t given the opportunity to create a password. I tried every command I found on line, it kept telling me it didn’t recognize the command. Believe me I tried for hours & hours. Even repeated the powerwash & redownloaded. Still NOTHING. So I simply Power Washed the new Chromebook again & took it back, where I bought it from. Every time I tried to ask Linux, even though I’d set up an account, I was told I wasn’t allowed to comment, I had 2 more steps, to complete. Yet they sent me plenty of emails. Each time I tried to get info, got the same response, after using the links they emailed me. So I unsubscribed. After all was said & done, I bought a different computer, + Windows 7 Pro OS. (Actually got both for less than the NEW ASUS Chromebook. Actually ASUS emailed me saying they do their best to insure my satisfaction, blah, blah. But they did tell me I was out of luck. Too bad so sad. So I returned their Google laden browser back to the store. Thankfully I’m getting tons of Porn Ads from Google Classroom or whatever it is. I can’t uninstall it from my phone as I never installed it there in the 1st place. I block the ads that come in my regular email, but it’s spam, mostly. Great idea, don’t buy a glorified Google web browser.) Sorry so negative, but it’s been a total pain.

Can I just use the linux in settings that you enable? I already have it enabled so it would be a lot more convenient. Thanks.

This is such a helpful article but my main question is still unanswered, if I go through all this hassle will my chromebook play old computer games? Or just cds and dvds?
